Different people have different abilities to play intense and risky sports. What is easy for one is not for the next. Recent studies show that obesity is a problem and many adults have already given up exercising. It's not fun for them anymore and trying to participate in the highly active sports such a riding a bike or kayaking is just not an option for them. Using a recumbent tricycle for adults is a great way to get in shape while having fun. Most adults can remember their first bike and how excited they were to go from training wheels to just the two wheels. Now, it is time to head back to the more stable version and get back in shape.

Riding on a bike is harder and not easily done for some people. Being able to ride a trike is a really easy alternative. You won't hurt your knees from running and your back will thank you for not having to lean over the front wheel while riding. You can instead, sit back and enjoy the ride. You will be able to look around and see the world as you zip past. You also avoid the embarrassment of falling over when you fail to coordinate the brakes and your feet while stopping.

Most people want to get fit. In fact, it is probably the most pledged new year's resolution every year. As summer approaches, these resolutions are renewed to get in shape for the beach body. The weather is nicer and there is no more excuse for avoiding exercise. Finding a way to do it without wanting to give up is important.

Fun should be a goal in any chosen sport. While exercise and getting fit is the primary goal, you should be able to have fun along the way. Playing sports is just that: playing. If you're not having fun, you're more likely to quit. When you are too out of shape to play basketball or go skiing, riding a recumbent bike will give you what you need in exercise and help you have fun. You will be able to see the view as you zip by and be able to go farther distances, which increases the exercise without even realizing it.

Bikes are harder to ride than trikes. Though it is often a fantasy to be that speedster that is thin, wearing spandex and a helmet, whipping through the roads and looking cool, it is not true life for most. It takes a lot of effort to do that and especially to be coordinated when steering and stopping. Falling over is a big embarrassment for adults. With a trike, you don't ever have to put your foot down until you're done with the ride. Simply stop by using the brakes. When you're ready to get going again, release the brakes and start pedaling. Not having to coordinate the stopping and foot motions to keep from falling over is a big benefit of the stability of trikes.

Longer distances are now in range. Since you won't spend your time bend over the front wheel, staring at the ground, you can go longer distances. Sitting back in the trike lets you view what is around you and you won't be hunched over while you go. Being in a sitting or slightly reclined position gives you more stamina as you go.

Touring and commuting are options on trikes. Heading to work on your trike will offer you some great exercise. Since you're not going to worry about stability or being too winded, this will help add miles to your exercise routine. There are some groups that enjoy using them because it is a machine that fits all health levels, allowing anyone to join in.

Trikes offer you a chance to exercise and have fun. You don't have to lean over the front and only see the ground pass by. The distances you go will steadily increase because your back will not hurt and you'll find you have more stamina when you're comfortable.
